paint me a picture
show me your dreams
share me your sunshine —
packed up? what do you mean?
don’t you adore making discoveries?
like how we find one another?
through serendipity and curiosity —
dazzling the cosmos, we saunter.
did I find you? or did you find me?
yes? no? perhaps? regardless, this, the key:
unable to word our boundless universe,
let us promise to uncloak her sweet mysteries.
let us traverse this life, impossibly
not in silence, not alone.
for-ever bewildered at its might, our
hearts’ confessions, we decant!

Photo was taken while standing in line, outside the (I don’t say this lightly) amazing, Pigeon Bagels. Not sure who painted their wall, but it’s colorfully awesome.
